STRANGE THINGS A DOCTOR HAS SAID TO YOU

Reddit asked, “What’s the weirdest thing a medical professional has casually said to you?” Some of the responses:
– “My endocrinologist took a good look at me and asked, ‘Are you okay with your face being so asymmetrical?'”
– “’If you don’t mind, I’d like to show everyone pictures of your tonsils.’ Apparently, I had the most disgusting tonsils she had ever seen.”
– “I had a doctor tell me that my metabolism is so slow that I would do very well in an apocalypse.”
– “In for back pain, I’m not young. Doctor just said, ‘Well, that’s just life for you. You’re tall.’ I say, ‘So I’m just going to end up being a hunched over 90 year old?’ He says, ‘Ha, you’re not going to see 90. How many tall old people have you ever seen?’”
– “I was getting an EKG, sitting there with my full breasts out, and the doctor tells me i remind him of a girl he used to see in college.”
– “I had a medical professional say, ‘I used to be a heroin addict, so i’m pretty good at this’ as she was putting in my IV. I laughed so hard.”
– “We’re going to have to remove your testicles….just kidding, you should’ve seen your face.”
– “As I left the ER for a severed finger, a medical professional said to me, ‘Oh wow they saved it? We were for sure you were going to lose it. We even placed bets!”
– “I asked my cardiologist what the goop was they put on my chest before an echoegram. He said, ‘Yak snot.'”
– “As my wife was delivering our first baby, doctor said, ‘You’re killing it!.’ Wife stopped pushing and freaked out for a sec, until he said, ‘You’re doing a great job.'”
– “Said that I have one of the most ‘ideal’ navels and could even feature on a magazine.”
– “As she was doing a pelvic exam she told me about her Scandinavian folk singing group.”
* Dear god, I hope she didn’t yodel up the canyon.
* How about “I reserved 40 minutes for your appointment, but it only took 20. I’ll just charge you half.”
* There’s a reason doctors don’t want office visits recorded.
* Sometimes laughter isn’t the best medicine. Medicine is the best medicine, so shut up.
